Kelli discovered yoga while navigating the pressures of executive leadership, stress, anxiety, and depression. Her experience transformed yoga from a personal practice into a calling to support others. Kelli mentors students after their first six months and supports long-term progress, graduation, and professional completion. Her teaching is rooted in resilience, authenticity, mental-health recovery, and the practical application of yoga beyond the mat. She has been serving our students for over 10 years.
Founder of PranaYoga, Creator of Somatic Vinyasa Yoga Therapy, Author, Yoga Therapist, and Ayurveda Wellness Counselor
Dani “Pranavani” is the founder of PranaYoga and the visionary behind the Somatic Vinyasa Yoga Therapy method. With over 22 years of yoga practice and a dedicated focus on yoga therapy since 2007, her journey into the healing arts began as a personal quest to overcome an eating disorder and chronic pain. Through the transformative power of Yoga and Ayurveda, Dani found healing and purpose, which she now shares with others through her therapeutic offerings and teachings.
Dani is the author of The Path of Joyful Living, a contemporary exploration of kriya yoga and the psychology of yoga. She has a profound commitment to helping individuals navigate life with greater ease, particularly those facing cancer, chronic pain, or other health challenges. As a certified Yoga Therapist accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT), she leads the PranaYoga Institute, which offers a 1,000-hour IAYT-accredited Yoga Therapy Diploma program.
In addition to training future yoga therapists, Dani works one-on-one with clients, providing personalized Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy sessions designed to foster balance and well-being.
Claudia always loved a good stretch: the muscles, the schedule – just how much can one person fit into a day? Attending her first yoga course in 1996 just continued the stretching. However, the more she delved into the practice, the more was revealed that yoga is the space lacking in the hectic life she created for herself. Seeking to explore beyond just one branch in the yoga tree brought her to the doors of Pranayoga. Every step revealed the possibilities of incorporating these teachings into the very breath that carries us through the experiences of our lives, however small or overwhelming they may seem. Claudia’s message: to find yourself in the jumble – even if we start one class at a time, hoping it will expand and stretch across each aspect of life.
